The TeRRiBlE Two's!!??

Ethan & Gavin turned TWO YEARS OLD on February 6th, so we had a little party for them and invited friends from our ward. Ethan & Gavin both love balls, and are constantly throwing them (not such a great thing at times), so I decided to have a "ball - themed" party. They had a great day and loved the attention. It should be interesting to see what my two little "monsters" have in store for us for their third year of life. They sure do make our house lively and fun; we can't imagine life without them!!


Instead of a cake, I made cupcake "balls".


All ready for the guests.
In the far left you can see a little arm reaching up to the table. That would be Gavin's. I wasn't watching him and next thing I knew the bowl with the potato chips was on the floor. :)




My birthday boys!!
They liked the idea of the party hats, but they didn't stay on for very long.




Gavin enjoying his birthday cupcake.



Ethan trying out the soccer ball cupcake.
I think he only ate the frosting; guess he knows what's good.




Opening presents from Nana & Grandpa.
Thank goodness they have an older brother to help them out.



Ethan loved his race track from Tad and I.
(And yes, they both got the EXACT SAME presents, as we've learned otherwise.)


Gavin loved his new drum.


Ethan especially loves cars, so I made a car - themed favor for our party guests.

They're Two!!!! And the ball theme was so cute. I love it. I also love the candy car favors you made. You are so talented! Poor Dallin and his head wound. Heads bleed so badly...how scary. At least you are a nurse and can probably contain your emotions. And so nice that he was so brave for the shot and stitches! Way to go Dallin! Thanks for the nurse perspective post on my blog. We went again today and her fingers look so much better just from two days ago. She is healing really well. Thanks for the prayers.

Looks like a fun party! I love the balls. That's what I should do for Preston. That kid LOVES anything he can throw. :) Happy birthday!

You are so creative! I can't believe that they are two and I've never met them, that makes me so sad! We need to get together with our kiddos sometime (assuming that we can end up in the same state sometime!) I love your ball cupcakes, they look professional. Looks like it was a great party. Happy Birthday Gavin and Ethan!
